Just read in a news flash that Dr. Osame,
a 63 year old gout specialist in japan, is
also a nightly beer drinker -- sometimes
up to 9 litres (24 12-oz. Cans) of beer a
day. Gout finally caught up with him
about 3 1/2 years ago. In the name of
science, he kept drinking beer while
trying to find a way to beat it. His
finding: he can beat the gout if he drinks
less than 750 milliliters (24 oz.) of beer
a day -- so little, how sad. What did he
accomplish? His just published book on
his gout experiment is a hot seller in
japan and he has become an instant
international celebrity. Gout isn't
always bad after all. Kanpai.
